libxl: when using pygrub, do not segfault if no blktap
Running xl create configfile where configfile includes the lines
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
disk = [ 'file:/dev/mapper/vg0-partname,xvda1,w' ]
then xl segfaults at the line
ret = strdup(dev);
of libxl_device_disk_local_attach() in tools/libxl/libxl.c . The
problem is that dev is not set if libxl__blktap_enabled(&gc) is false
or if phystype isn't recognized. In the latter case we want to skip
that line and return NULL, but if libxl__blktap_enabled(&gc) is false
we should be returning something, at least in the cases where the
device has a name in the host which we can just refer to.
Also improve the error message when QCOW or QCOW2 are specified, and
avoid using an uninitialised value of "ret".
